This chapter studies the relationship between pedagogy, criticism, and creativity, in the postcolonial classroom. The specific example of Hong Kong is the focus, an example that emphasizes the limits of certain paradigms, as de-essentializing the native speaker for the Hong Kong classroom, while something that students can understand, is something that is resisted to the extent that the acceptance Hong Kong English is itself resisted. Global English implies restriction, the exonormative, the instrumental, and emotional distance. World Englishes studies encourages the liberation of difference, against this globalizing linguistic force. However, this chapter argues that this desire, while appropriate for a context such as Singapore, is not necessarily appropriate for apparently comparable contexts.Less

This chapter considers two studies of the origin of the pre-Priestly Tetrateuch: Christoph Levin's The Yahwist and Erhard Blum's Studies in the Composition of the Pentateuch. They date the composition of the ‘first Tetrateuch’ to the exilic and early post-exilic period respectively. They seek to uncover the earlier, pre-exilic written sources employed by the author(s) of this work that, they argue, were substantial.Less
